The tire has set a new performance standard for all-season tires, making it the perfect choice for an all-weather solution.

Goodyear tested the new Assurance WeatherReady® 2 against similar competitor products, including the Michelin CrossClimate2, Bridgestone WeatherPeak, and Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive. In head-to-head comparisons1, the Assurance WeatherReady® 2’s premium performance came in first when testing for wet handling, wet braking and dry handling – establishing it as the ideal choice for an all-weather solution and setting a new standard for all-season tires.

AquaTred® Technology is a testament to Goodyear’s legacy in wet traction, with its sweeping Evolving Traction™ Grooves that help efficiently move water and slush away from the tire, ensuring steadfast performance and grip in wet conditions. The Assurance WeatherReady® 2 tire also boasts the coveted Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMS) designation2. This distinction indicates that the tire meets or surpasses certain stringent snow traction criteria established by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
